The Office of Neighborhoods is now taking applications for projects carried out during 2016 or 2017. The deadline is Monday, February 19, 2018. Here is the application.

Awards will be presented at The Neighborhood Conference that will be held Saturday, March 24, 2018, at the Marriott Hotel. Winners will receive a cash award of $75.

--- Projects, events and activities that focus on connecting neighbors with one another, such as street fairs, potlucks, home tours, holiday celebrations, and neighbors helping neighbors;

--- New or ongoing communication efforts such as newsletters, social media and phone tree networks; and
